Touch Football Training Report

The relationship between the principles of training and physiological adaptations has a significant impact on performance. Many factors need to be addressed in a training program to make it a successful one for a particular athlete and thus improve their performance.

Several fitness tests were completed such as power, aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, agility etc., in order for us to identify our strengths and weaknesses and which certain components of fitness would be vital in a game of touch football. Fitness tests are essential in all areas of sports for many reasons, such as providing training incentive, identify strengths and weaknesses and gives feedback for the effectiveness of training. In relation to touch, a player needs agility, co-ordination, anaerobic capacity ATP PC, and aerobic capacity. Before all the fitness tests were completed, a beep test was done in order to our fitness level. My beep test just placed me into the average range therefore would be considered a weakness. Aerobic capacity is the most vital component of fitness, and is the ability to keep

The decision I made regarding my field position in the game of touch football came down to my varying levels of fitness through each component of fitness. After being tested for power and speed through a timed 20m sprint; coordination, balance and agility via a T-test and cardiovascular endurance by running the beep test my results came back as average across the board. My speed, when compared to the average of the Australian Touch Football team being came within the range of all players. However, my time was outside, on the higher scale, of the range on agility times. Unfortunately, I was unable to take the beep test due to injury but will assume the average of the class' results, which fell short of the range of Australian representative

For this term’s HPE unit, we have learnt about core physiological principles as well as fitness and training concepts, and how this would relate to touch football. This knowledge was then utilised to design, evaluate and modify an individual one week training program (microcycle) to enhance performance in touch football. The task of this assessment is to analyse the training program upon completion, by evaluating its strengths and weaknesses and finally modifying this ‘microcycle’ to rectify any weaknesses that may have be identified.

In this assignment I will be reviewing the different effects of exercise on the body system including the acute and long term using the pre-exercise, exercise and post-exercise physiological data which I collected based on interval and continuous training method. I will also be including the advantages and disadvantages of these, also the participants’ strengths and areas where they can improve on.

There are eight physiological adaptations that a touch football player would experience in response to training; these include a change in stroke volume, heart rate, cardiac output, oxygen uptake, lung capacity, hemoglobin levels, muscle hypertrophy and the effect on slow- and fast-twitch muscle fibers.

In touch football the human body uses energy systems. The definition of the energy system is, an energy system is a system primarily designed to supply energy-services to end-users. The human body has three energy systems they are ATP-CP, Anaerobic lactic and Aerobic energy system. For the human body, it requires the energy systems because if the human body wants to do any physical movement it will need convert high energy which is also called ATP. The ATP will be converted to low energy.

This assessment piece will examine and assess my suitability to play either the middle, link or wing position in Touch football based on the fitness test results, energy requirements for selected positions and skills demonstrated in games analysis. In the fitness tests carried out evidence shows that I am best suited to play the position middle because out of all my fitness results. The fitness tests carried out showed that my ratings and results were best suited for the requirements of a middle player in touch. (Appendix One) Touch football is a game that has three positions as a middle, link, and wing.

Kids who play football engage in hours of exercise. Childhood obesity is one of the biggest problems facing the country, with more than one-third of kids overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Football involves plenty of running and helps combat rising childhood obesity levels by luring young people from their television sets and video games. Studies show that being active through football lowers body fat and strengthens muscles. It’s a physically demanding game that provides an opportunity for players to improve speed, agility, strength, hand-eye coordination, and

Performance analysis in sport is the investigation of actual sports performance or performance in training which can develop an understanding of sports that can inform decision making by seeking to enhance or improve sports performance (O'donoghue, 2010). So, performance analysis is very important for every sport because it can help to improve performance for players and teams. In performance analysis, there have a few types of analysis that can be use such as notational analysis, biomechanics and motor control (Bartlett, 2001). In addition, it also can be use to analyse the match in term of tactical and technical. According to Teodorescu and Urzeală (2013), performance analysis can help players to improve their skill and develop new strategies

It can be seen that if an athlete choses to use the tools of sports phycology they will effectively increase their sporting performance and ability. These tools have helped me to improve volleyball ability and

I feel like I have improved a lot in my second fitness test, compared to the first test. For my twelve minute run, I have gone way higher; before my result was 414and now it is 4.4625. This happened because I have been jogging a lot more, increasing my endurance. I improved in my sit ups, achieving my goal of 40 sit ups that I made after the last test. My work on doing sit ups before bed has helped out, giving me the result I have today. For push ups, I got one more push up than last time. This happened since although I did sit ups before bed, I never got around to doing push ups as well because either I was sore after my sit ups or something else popped up. I am really pleased with my standing broad jump result because it has increased by

The proper physical fitness training for the Soldier in the Brazilian Army is the responsibility of the commander. The commander have to provide infrastructure necessary to the practice of the physical exercises with their Soldiers and plan, prepare, and execute the activities as a team. The commander is also responsible for provide time and demand the correct performance of the exercises. Furthermore, the commanders continuously assess the results to make changes, recognize possible transitions and create new opportunities for training (Ministerio da Defesa, 2002). In other words, the command provides the opportunity to the practice of physical exercise and it is responsible for the results. In any moment, the Brazilian Army regulation

Exercise can be explained as an ordered and customary activity which is performed to improve the performance of the athletes. Exercises are being categorized into various classes depending upon the requirements of the athletes’ performance. Two very common type of exercises used by atheletes are core stability and plyometric exercises which are being utilized in order to improve an athletes’ performance. (1)
